TL;DR: In this paper, a model is proposed for determining the contact surface temperature in dry and boundary lubricated sliding systems using the concepts of small scale and large scale heat flow restrictions to divide the temperature increase in a sliding contact into two contributions, a nominal surface temperature rise and a local temperature rise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present some of the most useful analytical and numerical methods that can be used to predict surface temperature rises in dry or boundary lubricated pin-on-disk tribotests.

TL;DR: Results indicate that linearly elastic reconstructions of fluid-saturated porous media at amplitudes and frequencies relevant to steady-state MRE can yield misleading effective property distributions resulting from the complex interaction between their solid and fluid phases.

TL;DR: Preliminary investigations suggest that transient effects in the data are the cause of a significant mismatch between the inversion model, which assumes steady-state conditions, and the actual displacements as measured by a phase contrast MR technique.

TL;DR: This paper developed and quantified the deformation characteristics of a three-dimensional porous media finite element model of brain deformation in vivo and demonstrated that porous-media consolidation captures the hydraulic behavior of brain tissue subjected to comparable surgical loads and that the experimental protocol causes minimal trauma to porcine brain tissue.
